Question

Would you mind doing...?

Answer 1

1. “Would you mind doing...?”句型常用于表示请求时，意思是“请你做……你是否介意？”“请你做……好吗？”是一种比较客气的表达方式。如：

Would you mind turning off the light in the room?

请你把房间里的灯关掉好吗？

如果要表示“请你不要做……你是否介意？”“请你不要做……好吗？”只需要在doing前面加上not。如：

Would you mind not standing in front of me？

请你不要站在我的前面好吗？

2. 如果同意，表示不介意时，可用如下用语来表达：

Certainly / Of course not. / Not at all. / No, not at all.

如果不同意，表示介意时，常用“Sorry / I'm sorry.”（对不起）及陈述某种理由来表示拒绝或反对。如：

—Would you mind going to the movies this evening? 今晚去看电影好吗？

—I'm sorry. But I haven't finished my homework yet.

对不起，我的作业还没有完成。

学习时还要注意：

1. “Would you mind doing...?”句型中的would也可用do代替，但语气较生硬，不如用would客气。

2. “Would you mind doing...?”句型中的逻辑主语只能是谈话的对方you。如果想要对方允许自己做某事，可用“Would you mind my doing...?”句型，如：

Would you mind my smoking here? 你介意我在这里吸烟吗？
